"Not the slightest; I know he always holds the most surprising hands, that he plays for very high stakes, that he nearly always wins " "Is he winning now?" Of course. Mr. Jillingham's luck never deserted him.
F . Joseph Favell, afterwards Captain, who had a commission from the Duke of York as had Sam Le Grice and was killed in the Peninsula, at Salamanca, 1812. Lamb states in the essay on "Poor Relations," where Favell figures as "W.," that he met his death at St. Sebastian. Both Sam Le Grice and Favell were to have accompanied Coleridge and Southey to the Susquehanna as Pantisocrats.
On reaching what was the main corridor on the ground floor, they paused for a moment, and stood warming their hands at the hot-water pipe, and it was while thus engaged that they were suddenly accosted by Mr. Grice, who bustled up to them in a great state of excitement.
